Lillee has a great record in ODIs too. The video below appears to be from the last part of his career but his bowling is still sharp:

Guy was 150ish kph bowler when he first arrived but even after losing pace, he still looks to be decently quick, 140ish? Like Akhtar even in his last year hit 150 kph. Same with Lee.

Even after his back surgery was clocked at 155 in 1976 Link

 

Late 70s onwards, he was probably bowling in the 140s

Great bowler. How did some of the best batsmen of his time fare against him? I am specially interested in how Indian batsmen measured up to him in Tests. Asking for a friend.

Iirc he and Thomson devastated the first tour for Lloyd as captain for WI when WI went to Australia. Viv was young though in international test cricket, but the bowling pair did dominate the lineup of quality batsmen in Windies lineup.
